Marshall Road teaching staff run a number of ‘clubs’ for students during weekly lunch breaks. These clubs are fluid; students do not have to attend every week if they do not wish to and some clubs may run all year while others only run for a term.

The purpose of these clubs is to provide students with some structured lunchtime activities which they may choose to join while also extending students’ interests and abilities in some areas.

Sustainability Rangers (formerly Garden club)

Any student may join and become a Sustainability Ranger. Sustainability Rangers will be rostered on to attend at least one lunchbreak duty every week. Duties will include management of recycling, animal pen cleaning, gardening, plant propagation, composting, worm farming and mulching. These students will also be able to take on a class role managing and promoting the class recycling program each day. Year 6 Sustainability Leaders, once elected, will assist in the leadership of this group. A weekly commitment is required of students . To participate each student must bring their own pair of gardening gloves.
